2025 Mazingira Day at Queen Of Rosary Primary School

Compassion Africa Initiative celebrated the 2025 Mazingira Day in partnership with Queen Of Rosary Primary School's Environment Club. The event brought together students, teachers, the school principal, area chief, parents, and our organization members for a day dedicated to environmental conservation and education.

Event Highlights:

  • Tree Donation & Planting: We donated 25 trees (20 fruit trees and 5 non-fruit trees), while the school provided an additional 70 trees (50 non-fruit and 20 fruit trees), resulting in a total of 100 trees planted on the school grounds.
  • Interactive Activities: Students participated in fun environmental games and educational sessions that taught the importance of tree conservation and sustainable practices.
  • Community Engagement: The event was attended by the school principal, environment club teachers, area chief, and parents, demonstrating strong community support for environmental initiatives in the Thika West sub-county.

Impact & Future Plans:

The successful partnership with Queen Of Rosary Primary School continues to grow, with plans to establish a seedbed and nursery within the school premises. This will serve as a hands-on learning laboratory for students and ensure a sustainable source of seedlings for future planting initiatives.

The Mazingira Day celebration not only contributed to greening the school environment but also instilled environmental stewardship values in the young learners, creating the next generation of environmental champions.

Waste Management Program Launch at Gatuanyaga Primary School

Compassion Africa Initiative took a significant step in promoting sustainable waste management practices by launching a comprehensive waste management program at Gatuanyaga Primary School. This initiative focuses on transforming waste handling from an environmental challenge into an economic opportunity.

Program Components:

  • Resource Provision: Delivered specialized waste collection bags to the school, enabling proper waste segregation and management.
  • Educational Workshops: Conducted interactive sessions teaching students practical waste segregation techniques and the environmental impact of proper waste management.
  • Economic Empowerment: Educated students on how segregated waste can generate economic benefits when properly processed and recycled.
  • Sustainable Systems: Established a waste management system that the school can maintain independently, creating lasting change.

Creating Environmental Stewards:

The program goes beyond mere waste management - it's about cultivating a generation that understands the value of resources and the importance of circular economies. By teaching children early about the economic potential of proper waste management, we're planting seeds for sustainable thinking that will benefit communities for years to come.

The students of Gatuanyaga Primary showed incredible engagement and curiosity, asking thoughtful questions about how they could extend these practices to their homes and communities.
